Lake Mburo National Park

Lake Mburo National Park is teeming with wildlife. It may not offer the same wildlife as many of Uganda’s other parks, though. For instance, there’s only one solitary, elderly lion wandering around Lake Mburo, and you won’t encounter elephants or giraffes. However, you’ll certainly come across countless zebras, buffalo, hyenas, jackals, and impalas. If you’re lucky, you may even spot a leopard! Lake Mburo is the only safari park where you can explore on foot, horseback, or by bike because there’s no risk of being eaten by a lion or trampled by an elephant. With your foot on the pedal or perched on horseback, you can get incredibly close to the animals without them running away!

But there's another type of wildlife that makes Lake Mburo interesting: during nature walks, you’ll be able to spot an impressive range of colourful birds, as around 313 different bird species inhabit Lake Mburo. Keep your binoculars handy! Not a fan of our feathered friends? You can take a boat cruise on Lake Mburo and cast a fishing line to reel in some tasty fish from the water. Just be careful not to accidentally hook a hippopotamus or a crocodile!
